  2. Overview • Installing Ubuntu • Installing Updates • Downloading MDM • Using the Terminal • Configuring MDM

  3. Installing Ubuntu • Versions • 8.04 LTS (Hardy Heron) • 9.04 (Jaunty Jackalope) • 10.04 LTS (Lucid Lynx) • Scheduled release April 29, 2010 • Either 32 or 64 bit • We are using 8.04 LTS 32 bit

  15. Installing Updates • Update Ubuntu using Update Manager

  16. Installing Updates • Synaptic is used for installing packages

  21. The Terminal

  22. Common Terminal Commands • cd: change directory • . (period): refers to the current directory • .. (double period): refers to the parent directory • ls: list directory contents • man: see the manual for a command (‘q’ to exit) • mv and cp: move or copy a file • rm: remove (delete) a file • mkdir and rmdir: make and remove a directory • chown and chmod: change file owner and permissions (requires ownership or root access) • sudo: run a command as the root user

  23. Common Terminal Commands • | (“pipe”): Send the output of one command as the input to another command • > : Send the output of a command to a file • & : Run a command in the background • grep: searches for patterns within text • ps: show all running processes • kill: end execution of a running process • ssh: connect and execute commands on a remote computer • less: show the contents of a text file, one page at a time • gedit, nano, vim: text editors (gedit has a GUI)

  24. Changing Permissions • ls –l shows files, permissions, and owners • rwxr-xr-- haynieti somefile.txt • Think in terms of bits • First 3 bits represent file owner (111=7) • Second 3 bits represent group (101=5) • Final 3 bits represent everyone else (100=4) • To achieve these permissions, you would type: • chmod 754 somefile.txt

  25. Installing MDM • First we need to allow permissions for the configuration files > sudo bash > chmod 777 /etc/X11 > chmod 777 /etc/X11/xorg.conf

  26. Installing MDM • Use the terminal to install repositories • Repositories contain MDM installation files • Use the command “apt-get”

  27. Installing MDM > gettext xserver-xephyr rccconf > git-clone http://git.c3sl.ufpr.br/pub/scm/multiseat/mdm.git > cd mdm/mdm > make > make install > cd ..

  28. Installing MDM > cd extra-modes/xephyr-gdm > make > make DESTDIR=/install > cd ../ ../ > cd dependencies > apt-get build-dep libx11-6

  29. Installing MDM • When using an Nvidia graphics card, the following patches are needed: • discover-devices • mdm-bin • mdm-start-seat

  30. Installing MDM • The xorg.conf file is for the display settings in GDM • Copy the xorg.conf file into the MDM folder and rename it xorg.conf.mdm • We now have a display configuration file for MDM

  31. Installing MDM • In order to change MDM files we need to change permissions • Chmod 777 /../../file name

  32. xorg.conf.mdm • xorg.conf.mdm is MDM’s main configuration file • Allows computer to recognize ‘seats’

  33. xorg.conf.mdm

  34. xorg.conf.mdm

  35. Other MDM files

  36. mdm-bin

  37. Starting MDM • From the terminal: • /etc/init.d/gdm start • /etc/init.d/mdm start • At this point, MDM is started and each screen prompts the user to register a keyboard/mouse

  38. Log Files • The overall MDM log file:

  39. Log Files • Each seat also has it’s own log file
